Now

Sessionwire. A real-time music collaboration platform with around 30,000 users. Since 2017 I've led development across three generations of the platform, building the second and current third from the ground up: WebRTC sessions, an in-browser audio mixer, encrypted peer-to-peer file transfer, search that finds audio by how it sounds, desktop apps for macOS and Windows, and a public API. I guide the product and technical direction with the founder and CTO.

index9. A small Mac software studio: direct downloads, notarized, no accounts. Windrose is fan control for Apple Silicon. Whetstone is a prompt optimizer for Mac.

Previously

Before software I spent a decade in audio. I ran Earthtone Mastering, worked live sound in Canada and the UK, produced music for film and TV, and led the audio engineering program at a Kelowna college, teaching over 100 students a week.

Education

BA in Sound Technology from LIPA, the Liverpool performing arts school founded by Paul McCartney, who gave feedback on my final-year project. MA in Creative Media Practice from Middlesex University, focused on remote multimedia collaboration.
